Comment hidden because you are ignoring dag. (show it anyway)

I've had a look at your lists and I understand that there is a distinction between the two ideas - and videos that would fall in one and not the other. However we still feel that the overlap is huge.

(If it was a Venn diagram, only a small crescent in each circle would be non-overlapped)

There is a bit of history here too. We originally called the geek channel "tech" but decided deliberately- about a month in to change it to Geek so it would be be more inclusive.

Afterthoughts:

I still think there is a distinct need of a tech channel. My aim is to have videos that discuss technology - old or new, not just show it. The problem isn't that most of the tech videos are geek, it's that people put them in geek - the geek channel is being misused in my opinion. If you will, please review these two lists I have compiled from the first 6 or 7 pages of the geek sifted list. The first is of videos that I feel don't really belong in the geek channel, but would feel more at home in a tech channel.

This second list is for those which I feel do NOT belong in the tech channel, though people might feel urged to place them there - OR - videos that I feel the geek channel was created for.
While they may showcase technology, they don't discuss/explain it.

I do not wish to to be a stubborn prick about this issue, but it's just something that I feel strongly about. If you still don't want it, that's fine, but I was hoping we could put up another one of those polls you had a week ago. If not, I'll just go with "meme" like everyone wanted in Maatc's ST post.

I'm gonna go out on a limb here and say that "difficulty socializing" is probably not a new problem for this kid.


I think the party would have to come him anyway, there's no way he's getting out through the door.

I suppose if you were a giant stone golem, it might be fun to play in this like a sprinkler.
